Attention! We have recently (7 Aug) completed a "clean-out" of old listings in the Gearslutz Member Services directory. Any & all listings that were posted more than 365 days ago have been deleted so that we can ensure the directory remains up-to-date. If you had a listing which was for an active service, you will need to resubmit it - please do so at your leisure. Thanks for your help!

I move from my windows 7 pt 10 hdx1 to Macs of all kinds from pt8-9 tdm to pt 10 hdx. I have been doing this for years 8 years now. No issues. I would just make sure your sound editor knows what he is doing in this regard.
The only time I've had an issue is when I've done a save session copy in. I always manage the files in my session my self.
Let me know if you have any additional questions. BTW I'm not surprised he want to use his rig. Pro tools really runs great on windows!

Only problems I've seen in years were when mac sessions had a leading space in audio file names (i.e. Win thinks "steps01" and " steps01" are identical, makes copying to ntfs a problem). So watch out when naming tracks/files.
Apart from that, sessions work fine, and MacDrive allows integration of HFS disks for Win editors.

The only thing that changes is the modifier keys. Also if you use a keyboard macro application you wont be able to use your peraonalized macros cross platform. Unless there's a cross platform macro utility but I doubt one exists

It is awkward in that you have to rename the files before copying though.

I never rename anything. When delinking on the windows or osx computer, I first link with name and Id. If some didnt get found, I commit links and then link the rest via just id. Done. The extra step might take an extra 10 seconds.

What I originally meant was: Try copying a foley session from an HFS drive to an NTFS drive that has both "steps01.wav" and " steps01.wav". Windows will treat both as "steps01.wav" and ask to overwrite the other file. Linking with IDs isn't a problem in any case, but actually having to manually heave over so and so many files is annoying.
